Prezi is a tool that works like Powerpoint, except you only have 1 slide! It is interactive and helps you look at an entire project without having to only look at one thing at a time. I made a sample one here for you to check out.
Ready to get started? To start with, you will be making a Prezi based on your life. It can include any significant things – whether it is when you started playing a sport or an instrument, when your siblings were born, when you started at various schools, even when you went on vacations to some of your favorite places. The only required items are that you must include when/where you were born and there should be at least 7 items. If you want to make an entirely fictional timeline of your life, that would be fine, but it should move chronologically. You do not have to include pictures of yourself, but it should have some kind of pictures. Here is one of Flora's Prezi's from last semester: https://prezi.com/tlc1owhrk114/traveling/ or Anna’s Prezi from last year for you to check out: http://prezi.com/utwvx6bet95x/story-of-my-life/
For a start-up tutorial, watch this example on how to use Prezi. It will walk you through sign-up (but don’t click the educational accounts – we don’t have school email addresses!) and how to get started. I will help trouble-shoot any problems you have.
One last thing - Prezi is finicky on pictures. If you are having issues inserting a new picture, go here - Change JPEG to JPG
